What do you think? Do you still like the Extreme Weight Loss TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for another season?

Please don’t cancel this show it’s what I look forward to watching each week that keeps me motivated, reminds me that I can lose the weight (105 lbs.) I’ve started going to the gym and pushing my self when the workouts seem to hard or boring. I used to quit when working out after the first week or two . When I first started going to the gym I could only walk on the eliptical for 1/2 minute at a time, now I can walk on the eliptical for 30 minutes. I pushed myself because of what I saw the extremely overweight contestants on the show do. I felt if they can do it, even though it was painful then I could do it too. Thank you Chris powell. When you’re pushing them outside their comfort zone it’s as if you were pushing me too.
